The LANHM is a special place.  Walking through the Dinosaur Hall showcasing ancient fossils of a Stegosaurus estimated to be 150 million years old, I become overwhelmed as I fail to put the passage of millions of years in context that I can comprehend.  

We are excited and honored to be given the opportunity to make available our hand carved jewelry during the Mummies Exhibit at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles.  

Let's all support our educational institutions.  Visit your local museums.  We will see you there.

After taking a break in 2014, we are excited to announce our intention to attend the Association for Professional Piercers Exhibition from June 9 to June 12.  We would love to see all our fans there.  Our booths will be #37 and #38.

We will be bringing along our treasure chest of random organic jewelry.  Free pair to those that find a pair and #urbanstarorganics to their instagram.

See you all there.

We are getting anxious to open the doors to our Urban Star Organics showroom. Things are coming together fast, and we are getting excited to have our fans come hang out with us! Soon there will be an opening. Keep an eye out for it!

Here's a taste of whats to come:

Jewelry on display and tablets for easy browsing!

Our Arcade corner :) Will you be able to beat our high scores??

We are venturing into another stage in the organic jewelry industry. Now you can rock Urban Star Organics products in more ways! Along with our ground-breaking body jewelry, we're super excited to offer stylish glasses, rings, and pendants to your wardrobe!

Here are a few that I personally find tasteful. 

I really like the artistic, yet nerdy look of the "Book Worm" Glasses.

The "Swan Pendant" is an incredible piece of art. The flowing shape is nice, and the detail is impeccable. Also, like all the other pendants, its hand sculpted on both sides!

Then you have the "Rosebud Ring" which adds a touch of elegance to your look, and its quite versatile. It can be worn while dressing up for a fancy event, or going to chill out with friends. 

Top it off with the new sleek "Scarlet Oak" plugs, and you've got your self a complete Next Level wardrobe package! 

Take your time looking around our shop and create your own Next Level wardrobe package!

Hello World,

I find that our Facebook page to be too public for me to write without edit what is on my mind.  So I choose my own site as my soap box.  I am not a great writer so don't judge. I write as I would speak.  

From time to time, I enjoy a glass of whiskey, amongst other things.  I have found my doppelganger to be somewhat gregarious but still very reserved as not to embarrass me too much.  So write away I will sipping on my daily dose of Bushmill's.  For those that disagree with my vice, I also eat organic and support local foods and businesses.  So hopefully there is something for everybody.

I started Urban Star a little over 4 years ago after having worked as the Business Director for Halftone Bodyworks.  Halftone was one of those Asian importer bringing in "cheap" jewelry.  Take it from me, it was not cheap.  It was just not the grade of jewelry that APP would have you use which is 316 LVM.  What people forget is that the medical industry has been using 316 L as implant grade stainless steel for over 30 years.  It's just that a small but vocal group whom I respect very much for providing valuable information about body modification, to champion the best type of surgical steel available.  Who can argue with best?  I digress.  Getting back to the point of this paragraph, I started Urban Star because the owner of Halftone was good enough to allow me to branch off into organics.  Oh, BTW, Halftone produces the best PVD jewelry even above that of Industrial Strength.  Sorry JD, it's the truth.  Have any of you figured out that I may have ADD yet?

I started Urban Star because, I wanted to give the public, the people that I have been making jewelry for with Halftone for 6 years, an organic alternative that was fashionable and affordable.  I think before USO, you had the generic, whatever stylings of import companies or the original designs of Quetzali, Maya, Tawapa(original), Oracle, Onetribe.....shit there is a lot, but at Wholefoods prices. Did you know that a dozen eggs at a farmer's market could be as much as $10?  What I wanted to accomplish with USO was to provide original designs that would be affordable to more people.  I think I've done that and want to continue doing that with your support.

There is something liberating about writing or speaking without a filter.  There is a sense of empowerment to be able to do so in a world that is so very socially sensitive.  I am also guilty of tip toeing around people's sensitivities and prejudices.  That is why I have not come out of the closet until today.  I am KOREAN. =)  Samsung, Hyundai, LG, Kia, Lotte, Kimchi, AYCE KBBQ, Psy, Gangnam is all me.  

Shit peeps, more about me later.  I have to do my 2013 taxes.  Yes 2013.  I always file extensions. 

If any of you have any questions go ahead and ask.  My next post will be about Steel Navel www.steelnavel.com , one of my favorite Legit Retailers.
